Committed to being fair and accountable.
RCDs are established under California law to be locally governed with independent boards of directors. As trusted stewards of public and private funds, RCDs are subject to transparency and accountability laws that require public meetings, open records, annual audits and financial reporting. The Gold Ridge RCD is committed to operating with fairness, clarity, and reason, within our organization and throughout our partnerships and community connections.
Transparency
The RCD’s Catalog of Enterprise Systems is a list of the District’s major business systems except those that are specifically excluded from publication under the statute. The catalog includes the rough period of time over which the data is collected and updated.
Government Compensation Reporting
Annual compensation for RCD Director and Employee positions can be found on the Government Compensation in California website.
Accountability
Our budget is funded primarily through competitive local, state, and federal grant programs (approximately 85%). We also receive funding through parcel tax revenue, professional service agreements, donations from our community and occasionally foundations. Our budget is prepared each year for the fiscal year (July 1- June 30) and is approved by our board of directors. You can read about the current year’s budget below. You can also see a summary financial report on page 3 of our annual newsletter, Stewards of the Land, here.
